Defending Champ McBrayer Enters, Wins With Seven-Deuce
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
BJ McBrayer, who won last year's HPT Ameristar Vicksburg Main Event for $45,946, raised to 300 on the button, and was called by both the small blind and the big blind.
Action checked to McBrayer on a 
flop, and he continued for 300. Only the big blind came along with a call.
Both remaining players then quickly checked through a 
turn and 
river, and the big blind tabled 
for ace-high. McBrayer showed 
for bottom pair, which was good enough for the win. As he stacked up his chips, last year's fifth-place finisher Alton Peterson took his seat directly to McBrayer's left.
